Stars Rally For Late Win Over Sailors | Nagasaki Stars starter Tatsuo Sato hurled his team past the Osaka Sailors, 6-1. In 8 innings, Sato surrendered 5 hits, while striking out 5 and walking 0. He allowed 1 run. Nagasaki leads the Western League by 4 games.
Nagasaki used the timely hitting of Yukiya Sakai to seize the win. The pinch hitter stroked a run-scoring single in the top of the ninth inning to put the Stars on top, 2-1. It was his only hit in 1 at-bat, but it was a game-changer.
"We'll relax tonight and enjoy this win," said Sakai. | |
